Well...got the heads back with .010" off, and ready to hit the shop Fri to start assembly. Now that the heads have a nice clean, machined surface, I'll clean the block really good using acetone until the rags are clean before installing the heads. Hopefully get a good seal.

I'm hearing a couple diff schools of thought on using the VHT Copper Cote on the steel head gaskets. A light coat and install and torque when tacky was my thought. Also head bolts to 70 lbs. They are ARP. Mopar suggests 35lbs, then 70, and ARP suggests 3 equal torques to 70.
